i want to say i thoroughly enjoyed the asian heritage celebration this last thursday at the civic center and there was a strong and cute police presence. it kept everyone on their best behavior and it was absolutely wonderful. i am hoping the same is true with the gay parade festival held in the civic center. i haven't had an opportunity to thank chief suhr but i'm going to do it now and in 2012 there were no barricades around the music area so it was easier for people to dance and not feel as if they were pinned in and it was a suggestion i made in 2012 and we hope to see that happen again with 2013 and i see that the sergeant is in

the room and tad i want to thank you the service you gave and despite management and the social services and i said at another time treated him badly and ask him to leave our so-called community meetings want i stopped attending those after they treated him so badly because we are in the city and county of san francisco. we have the right to be safe and that includes our police officers, so again my thanks to all of you for being on time and we have our quorum and i will look forward to seeing you i guess in june. >> thank you jackie. next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners, staff and members of the public and we have members of organizations here

and supporters and friends. i am david [inaudible] and the executive director of the community leadership and josh kins is next to me and we i have statement that he is going to read. >> as san franciscans we have comfort and a sense of security knowing that we have a caring individual within the police department command staff, an individual that accepts our phone calls and responds to emails and comes out to the neighborhood to hear our concerns as well as making every possible effort to -- excuse me, expeditious lie address our concerns. we have such a friend. his name is john loftus and we selected this recipient of individual of recognition and leadership to the great city of san francisco so it is with

great pleasure that we present to deputy jeef john lot of our 2013 certificate of recognition. >> thank you. [applause] >> i also want to add that my daughter jacklyn did a picture today for chief loftus. >> please come forward. how cute. that's pretty good. >> thank you very much commissioners. >> thank you very much. we didn't know this was happening. we did receive an email and i didn't realize the presentation. that's perfect. >> very brief. that's nicer than your award david. obviously i'm honored and very, very flattered. david and his

organization, the community leadership alliance does great work and it's a pleasure to work with them. >> thank you chief. it's great to have the recognition and thank you for doing the picture. how cute. good evening jeremy. how are you? >> i'm all right. >> good to see you. >> likewise. i'm jeremy miller and the program director of the [inaudible] foundation and i wish i was addressing the body on positive notes like the last two speakers but last week there was another rash of san francisco police brutality and that's what i am here to address tonight. a week ago today the sf commune as it was dubbed a vacant abandoned church that was occupied by homeless people was

raided with physical force. the follow evening at san francisco state university people who had associated with this commune were visiting -- legitimately visiting friends in the san francisco state dorms and were brutally attacked by the san francisco police department. there is video footage of people screaming pleaing for mursy as officers jammed what alleged to be a tazer but a flash right into someone's ribs while he wasn't resisting. there was a vigil set up on bryant and people peaceably using the constitutional right to assemble. i saw them there with my own two eyes on sunday. on monday i got a reports of these

people being arrested. this is unconchable behavior on behalf of the san francisco police department and there are students saying they're afraid enroll next semester because they're afraid of being beat up. they have committed no crime. it should be remembered their legal status was the requirement to house indigent people and it's [inaudible] in the constitution but doesn't make it more right and it was a civil matter and not a criminal matter and shouldn't have been handled by the police department at all, the first incidence of atrocities. we demand the release of victims of this

event and clear and concise accountability for all of the police officers involved and i would like to highlight another case and [inaudible] mo rerchgo and falsely accused of auto theft and beat he is in jail right now with a broken neck on the verge of death is denied adequate treatment. we need to end this in san francisco now. >> good evening. >> commissioners, ladies and gentlemen for the record i am a mill laurence. i have been a resident of the city and county for 44 years. today i have two things on my plate. one is i have no qualms against anybody donating to the mounted police in san francisco. my daughter is an equestrian and she gave a speech to the board of

supervisors to save the stables. it was a dramatic speech and i went on a freedom of information request to get the amount of a donation for the police in golden gate park and they claim there were no records of it. the mounted police have bought sattels at $10,000 a piece when i can find no record of any saddles costing that much and those 10 saddles are not at the park at this time. there is a combination of new ones and old ones. the second of item i would like to speak to is the gentleman that just spoke with beating up the homeless. i don't see the sfpd wasting their time with that when the taxi business used to be connected to the sfpd going back three to four years ago, and today it is not, and today the police do not

respond to the majority of unlicensed limousines in this city up to 500, 800 every weekend act as taxis to supplement their income and no trace and no documentation of who these people are. they come from oakland, alameda, the south bay in limousines with blacked out windows. you can't see who they are and impacts the taxi business as taxis and not much has been done about it by the mta or the sfpd when this is a violation of city charter, law, and state law. they're out there by the hundreds. you see them every weekend. you basically see almost no arrests and i know that this problem was controlled when the taxi commission was under the umbrella of the police department. we had help from the sfpd. today we have no

help whatsoever. it's not clear how the mta is going to handle this because right now they have taken their hands off. they're only concerned about the income the taxi business produces and $25 million a year they suck out of the business while we have no medical plan unemployment plan or dental plan or anything else associated with the city and county employee department so i would like to see what will happen on that. i thank you for your time. >> thank you amil. good evening clyde. >> good evening. i would also like to go against that other gentleman. i'm all aware that eviction of the home little. i heard it on the radio. in fact i talked to commander loftus, deputy loftus. they initially did that months ago and stood down because the police didn't feel well suited to engage

them. kgo -- the landlords were the people that called the police about the people in their building. there wasn't any report for people hurt. a couple were arrested for outstanding warrants and one for resisting arrest. as far as a broken neck i don't know. i would like to go forward with someone else and i support greg suhr for chief and i am aware of a case about him from an employee. dimy background. and i went through every article about the case and see the young lady, the victim stand here and address the police commission about the situation at hand. i totally support the chief on this. my knowledge of the case is i am [inaudible] and some people just what they are. now on to the great subject, the occ. i would like to address the occ. there was a young man two weeks ago and sat there and

gave the dialogue how the occ treated him. two weeks ago i met a lady in the cash room and transgender and she told me about something that happened with her. young lady sit down i will explain how the occ works and this is how you should do it and please get back to me. she called me the other day. she said "clyde, i got a letter. i got a phone call. they're on it." great job thank you. >> thank you clyde. next speaker. please come forward sir. good evening. >> yes good evening police commission. together can we be allotted three minutes each. >> one at a time. >> yes. i prepared a statement and if i don't finish it i continue on his time. >> the city attorney said no. >> i wrote it so he can read it. thank you very much. police

commission i am christopher can dea and on behalf of my parents and sho share an incident with myself and my parents and the police department and one officer inspector lanny [inaudible] and my parents can't be here because they're ill. my father surface from alzheimer's dementia and home bound. my mother speaks little english and visually impaired and cares for my father. she surf suffers from anxiety and. >> >> blood pressure. and my father retired from railway and i am a franchise firefighter. the police came to my parents home twice looking for my ex-wife rita to serve a subpoena. there is a pending case thatful vs one of my brothers who is not here today.

my ex-wife is a potential witness in that case. my mother explained rita never lived there. the police left without incident both times and at 5:30 p.m. they arrived at my mom's house. he was yelling saying this is the police. open the door. she did this tnltly. my father became agitated and she didn't open the door right away and was nervous and frightened and asking for rita my mom rita doesn't live there and told her my father is six and to stop coming over and this is the third visit. "i know that rita lives here. you have a grandson together and he lives here too." my mother was crying and asked her to go away. she

was told my ex-wife doesn't live there and it wasn't enough and the officer without permission barged through my mother and "i am waiting inside." the partner followed her into the living room and began to question my father and ignoring my mom to stop and my father service from alzheimer's dementia and can't respond to the questions and continued to yell at my mom and had information she was living in my mom's house -- >> actually i will give you a few more seconds. >> my mother proceeded to call me using the homeland line and left a frantic message in tears that the police were looking for rita and my father and her were terrified tell them to please

-- tell me to please come home now. and the police refused to leave. they called a spanish interpreter and requested my mother through the interpreter even though she repeated that my ex-wife never lived there. >> thank you. >> they stepped up the heavy handed technique and imply that my mother was lying to her. my mother called me again and said "stop calling people" how dare she stop her calling anyone and the officer insisted she wanted to search every room in the house for rita and chris junior who was not involved with the pending case. at this point my mom became frantic and hysterical and she begged her

to leave the house and she convinced the matter was getting out of hand and they should leave. as they were leaving the officer threatened my mother they would come back again and again and i found my mom in a frail state and my dad was weak and my mom couldn't get out the words to what the officer put them through that day. when my parents were getting ready for bed two police officers arrived at my home. i was there and answered the door. i spoke with officer roadwayer of the police department and i asked that rita never lited at my parent's home. i invited them into the house so they could see that my father is suffering from alzheimer's dimenszia and fourth visit in

the one day and they concurred it was expressive and the officer assured he would pass on the information for the superiors and hopefully the visits would stop and the officer brought my mother to tears and my father can't communicate effectively because of alzheimer's dementia. he understood what was happening and crying like a child because he couldn't protect my mother and himself. i am appalled and wondering how the inspector can get away with these police tactics. i don't believe any of you would tolerate that your elderly parents be treated in such a demeanor -- manner. it shouldn't matter there is a pending case in the court that involves my brother. it shouldn't mearkt that inspector believes that she lives at the

home and shouldn't matter they're trying to serve a subpoena and every member must serve by the law. they must treat members with dignity and respect and especially when they're law abiding tax paying senior citizens who have lived in san francisco for 50 years. the inspector has a duty to follow the law and perform the job and she's a public servant just like i'm on and just because she has a badge doesn't allow her to ignore the law. as a san francisco firefighter got forbid i treated someone like that. it would be considered unconchable and i would be before disciplinary board in a split second. every time there say knock at the door now my mother goes into a nervous

frenzy that the inspector or another officer are going to invade her home. >> thank you. we've run out of time. i think your message has been delivered. please do. commissioner truman. >> sir, your parents and christopher junior are the only people at the residence at that time? >> actually it was just my mom -- both my parents and my other brother that wasn't here. he wasn't present at the home but he wouldn't want be to in fear that inspector might do something and he was present and saw through another door what was going on. my son christopher wasn't there. >> okay. >> the ha
